ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE BIKE
• The luggage mounting block EFCB (fig. 28) is pre installed on every Brompton Electric bike and should
not need adjusting, it should not be removed or modified
• If the block becomes loose you should stop using the bike and have it inspected by an authorised
Brompton Electric dealer
• When the block is secured to the bike it is vital to not omit either of the serrated washers W when fitting
the retaining plate RP and that the correct torque is used on the screws SHS
• The blue patch on the screw is there to lock the screws in place; do not tamper with, remove or expose
this patch to moisture as the locking action will be greatly reduced
• The screws should not be re-fitted after the initial instillation; the blue patch will not function correctly
• The screws should be replaced with Brompton part QFCB-BOLTS or two M5x16 socket head cap
screw, Class 12.9 DIN 912 with medium strength threadlock applied to the threads before instillation
In order to tighten the mounting screws SHS (fig. 28), remove the cover C by unscrewing the 4 retaining
screws RS. Assemble the retaining plate RP and one of the new M5 socket head screws SHS, together
with its star-washer W into the body of the carrier block FCB. Address this to the head tube on the bicycle
the correct way up as shown.
• Insert the first screw by two to three turns, do not tighten fully
• Insert and do up the second screw with serrated washer W
• Finally tighten both screws to a Torque of 4.5Nm
• Refit the cover C
• Carefully tighten the 4 retaining screws RS to 0.5Nm
